War Is Not An Independent Phenomenon, But

To Be Practical, Any Plan Must Take Account Of The Enemy's Power To Frustrate It.

We Repeat Again: Strength Of Character Does Not Consist Solely In Having Powerful Feelings, But In Maintaining One’s Balance In Spite Of Them. Even With The Violence Of Emotion, Judgment And Principle Must Still Function Like A Ship’s Compass, Which Records The Slightest Variations However Rough The Sea.

The Enemy Of A Good Plan Is The Dream Of A Perfect Plan.

Intelligence Alone Is Not Courage, We Often See That The Most Intelligent People Are Irresolute. Since In The Rush Of Events A Man Is Governed By Feelings Rather Than By Thought, The Intellect Needs To Arouse The Quality Of Courage, Which Then Supports And Sustains It In Action.

The More A General Is Accustomed To Place Heavy Demands On His Soldiers, The More He Can Depend On Their Response.
